I studied Maths/CS but not Philosophy, so I am biased towards the "takes a domain has a range" and done some Haskell so "all programs are functions". It is interesting to see this point of view. I see your point. sin(x) is more of a "natural function" born of the universe than f: f(x) = nn.layer(6, g: g(x) = nn.transformer(x, 512, ... |

My ideal would be every maths degree includes a mandatory unit on the philosophy of mathematics, every science degree includes a mandatory unit on the philosophy of science, a degree in AI or psychology includes a mandatory unit on the philosophy of mind, every psychiatry training program includes a mandatory unit on the philosophy of psychiatry, etc. Not everyone needs to be a philosopher, but I think a well-rounded practitioner of any discipline would ideally have a basic understanding of the philosophical debates about it.
But so many don't – which results in the phenomenon I keep on seeing, where so many people (even experts) treat debatable assumptions which they don't even know they are making as if they were obviously true.
